My Toshiba L505D-S5965 satellite monitor flickers then shuts off a few minutes after regular start up, so then i have to hard reset and go on to safe mode, where it works perfectly. I've had this problem for almost five days now, and I can't find an answer anywhere!
Is there a kind of virus that does this, or is it a driver issue?
I've done system restore, attempted to de-frag the hard drive, and have done multiple restarts, but it doesn't work.
Will I need to take it to a shop, or is it something that can be solved at home?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
